The Disabled Photographers Society at TPS 2017

There was a bit of a buzz around the Disabled Photographers Society’s booth at The Photography Show (TPS) 2017. As always, there was plenty of weird and wonderful second-hand photography equipment on sale, and even a few bargains to be had. Lok went along to meet the team of DPS volunteers at the society’s booth, and he found out a little more about the charity, and even tried to help them sell a few cameras.

The Disabled Photographers Society (DPS) is a national charity run by disabled photographers for disabled photographers, with more than 500 members.

With an aim of promoting photography for people with disabilities, the society offers members themed competitions, a quarterly magazine, hosts a portfolio group, forum, member galleries and websites and awards photographic distinctions.

A significant part of what the society does is to adapt cameras so that disabled people can still enjoy photography.
